Koilighugar Bird Observation Area
Only 4 km from Lakhanpur in Jharsuguda district, this woodland birding spot is a quick reach for anyone based locally. Forest trails run through habitat that supports a good variety of birds, and the November-to-March window is when most birders and wildlife watchers show up. The approach is moderate rather than easy, so a suitable vehicle helps. Shade and parking are provided; a small entry fee applies — the fast facts have the current rate.
